Shinji Hirako, a charismatic and unconventional leader in the Bleach universe, stands out for his strategic prowess and unique combat style. Initially a captain who defied the Soul Society, he later assumed command of a squad focused on strategic operations and battlefield leadership. His distinctive abilities are intrinsically linked to his Shikai, granting him control over his opponents' minds.
The Bleach: Brave Souls trailer showcases Hirako's masterful manipulation of opponents, using his powers to sow chaos and erode their confidence. His unpredictable shifts between offense and defense make him a perfect choice for players who appreciate strategic depth in combat.
Gameplay is structured as a 1-on-1, 3D battle emphasizing dynamic back-and-forth movement reminiscent of 2D fighting games, with added freedom of movement in all directions.
True to the source material, characters can fight on the ground or levitate using Reishi, creating frequent shifts in the battle plane's orientation between combatants.
